Looking Back On 2008's Oddest Games

10. On August 22, the Cards topped the Braves 18-3; they had 21 singles and five doubles, but no triples or homers.

11. On July 7, Skip Schumaker went 6-for-7 with a sac bunt, and on June 7th, Johnny Damon went 6-for-6 with 4 RBI and a stolen base; they were the one-game hit leaders in 2008. Schumaker and Damon were their respective team's leadoff batter and left fielder.

19. Manny Ramirez does not hit many triples; he has 18 in 16 seasons. This year's triple came on April 8 against the Tigers, and thanks to an error by Placido Polanco, he came all the way around to score.
